It's possible that opening port 80 has enabled a much larger set of attacks to get through the firewall now, and make it to the back end. If the webapps under Tomcat should be accessible only via HTTPS, they should have a setting of CONFIDENTIAL in their WEB-INF/web.xml files; this will stop all regular HTTP requests dead in their tracks. (Or you could just remove the port 80 .) If you want to keep port 80 open for in-house use, you can add a valve to insure that only known IP addresses come through that door.
